Lanzerac Bergpad Pinot Blanc 2024

Pinot Blanc’s dominant aromas of preserved quince, violets, lavender, and pears are beautifully expressed on the nose. These flavours continue onto the palate, where a creamy, soft texture emerges at the mid-palate, lingering into a long, elegant finish.

Pair this expressive wine with a creamy safron seafood risotto or grilled halloumi with honey and toasted almonds.

BERGPAD is a Pinot Blanc from a single vineyard block in the Jonkershoek Valley of Stellenbosch, and is currently the only bottled varietal of its kind in South Africa. The name for this wine is derived from the famous mountain path (bergpad in Afrikaans) that runs from the University of Stellenbosch’s sports grounds, Coetzenburg, along the Stellenbosch Mountain towards Lanzerac Wine Estate in Jonkershoek. This path has become a regular feature for local and university sports and outdoor enthusiasts over the decades.

in the vineyard : This single-block Pinot Blanc vineyard was planted in 1993, covering 1.08 hectares at an elevation of approximately 280 meters above sea level. South-facing, the vineyard sits on decomposed granite and sandstone soils with red clay components. In 2024, it yielded 3.8 tons per hectare.

about the harvest: Harvest date: 12th February 2024.

in the cellar : Fermentation took place in 400-liter ceramic clay vessels as well as older French oak barrels, utilising mainly natural yeast, with a small component of added commercial yeast. The wine matured in clay for 11 months before bottling.
